I'd love to be a cat. Ros, I could relate so well to your poem here…all those anxieties that keep churning in your mind. I bet cats don't have anxiety dreams! It's a lovely photo too. They really are very beautiful moggies.

I usually read my book until I fall asleep. I think I used to worry when I was younger and more out and about in my life. Here in the country, things are so peaceful, it's hard to think about worrisome stuff.

I was lead facilitator on the following two Heritage Lottery funded projects:

Leicester Jewish Voices

In 2009 I coordinated a memories project looking at the Leicester Jewish Community during the 1950s and 60s. You can see the website by clicking on the picture.

I coordinated the cataloguing of the Jewish section of Leicester Gilroes to provide a genealogical search facility. Subsequent research of a number of the headstones enabled us to record 'The Lives Behind the Stones'. 2014/15
